The story of the Owain GlyndAur (Glyn DAur) rebellion written by the foremost scholar in this field, Rees Davies. A new translation by Gerald Morgan of his popular Welsh-language account of the rebellion. A masterful study of the life and legacy of Glyn DAur, whose revolt against the English rule of Wales in the early 15th century ensured his status as a national hero.
But Owain himself was not captured; and soon after his death he became a legendary hero among the Welsh people. In more recent times he has come to be regarded as the father of modern Welsh nationalism.
This impressive book reveals surprising new facts about the man who still fires the Welsh imagination, Owain Glyndwr, through rigorous assessment of evidence in contemporary manuscripts and printed sources. Color photos.
Hello Friend We Missed You is a poignant and comic novel about loneliness, Netflix, existing, rural life, money, Jack Black, and learning to live in the least excruciating way possible. Its story, which unfolds on the small Welsh island of Môn, of people armed with every social media completely failing to communicate, is far, far funnier than it has any right to be. It's also, ultimately, extremely moving. An incredible debut novel from a truly unique prose stylist.
The first ever full-scale biography of the last native Prince of Wales who fought to maintain an independent Wales.

Think Small is a simple and accessible plan for success, based on seven scientifically tested steps that really work.
Everything I Have Always Forgotten is the story of Owain Hughes' childhood in the 40s and 50s. He spent it in boarding schools and in his family's large (but electricity-free) house, on the banks and waters of the Dwyryd estuary, and above all walking in the mountains. The landscape of North Wales - with Snowdonia in the near distance - dominated Owain's existence, and his stories of sailing, riding and walking culminate in the five-day hike through Snowdonia by the eleven-year-old Owain and a school friend.The trip ended with them storm- bound for several weeks on the Holy Island of Bardsey off the coast of North Wales, without any means of communication with his family.
An honest, gripping autobiography from Welsh nationalist Owain Williams, which follows his life in and out of marriages and jail, and periods on the run from MI5. With color plates.
